Sellers will receive their money 2 days AFTER the item has been delivered, what on earth !!

From February 2025, sales proceeds of private sellers will become available via eBay balance, 2 calendar days after the order has been successfully delivered, unless subject to a hold.

Not at all in agreement with this.

Talk about being controlling, what is wrong with the way it is now then.

Re: Sellers will receive their money 2 days AFTER the item has been delivered, what on earth !!

I've just been stung by this - I had an order cancelled and when I relisted the said item, the postage defaulted to Evri (who I have never used).  I explained to the buyer the situation and sent it off Royal Mail as I always do - the item was rec'd today and buyer has left positive feedback but despite this my funds are still on hold until 9th April!  Just not good enough eBay, you really need to sort this out, all while my money (and probably countless others money too) is no doubt getting some decent bank interest while it sits in limbo somewhere!

Guaranteed!! My other account got banned for selling a item worth over £2000, says I have to wait 6 months to receive the money even though I provided them with all the proof the item is mine. 

 

6 months! And says or longer but I won't be waiting longer before going through lawyers. They are ridiculous and the research shows they are doing this to many many many others just so they can delay giving the money that is owed.

I will be sending everything tracked and signed from now on! This means I won’t be selling low price items as the buyer won’t want to pay £5 postage for something only to costing a few pounds!

It really is a joke the old system worked a lot better just sold a PlayStation 5 for just short of £300 and eBay won’t release my funds and the whole no seller fees thing we have been shafted with knew it was eBay doing an early April fools as they now take buyer protection fee
